Labeling perpetual future contract trading as "buy long" and "sell short" is misleading and outdated.

These terms originated from traditional margin trading, where traders borrow funds to buy (long) or sell (short) assets. However, in perpetual futures trading, there's no actual buying or selling of assets. Instead, traders are simply speculating on price movements. Using terms like "buy long" and "sell short" creates confusion. It's time to adopt a more intuitive and accurate labeling system. Let's use "up" and "down" instead. These terms clearly convey the trader's market prediction, eliminating confusion and streamlining the trading process. By making this simple change, we can improve trader education and enhance the overall trading experience. #SpotTrading. #future #Beginnersguide
